What will be in the course?
The subject outline for Stage 1 background speakers’ course is designed for students with a cultural and linguistic background in Chinese. Students, typically, will have been born in a country where Chinese is a major language of communication and a medium of instruction, and will have had more than 1 year’s education in that country or in a wholly Chinese-speaking environment.
Students develop and apply linguistic and intercultural knowledge, understanding, and skills. They interact with others to exchange and explain information, opinions, and ideas; create texts to express ideas, opinions, and perspectives on contemporary issues; and analyse, evaluate, and respond to a range of texts. Students examine relationships between language, culture, and identity and reflect on the ways in which culture influences communication.
